Brando played Italian in godfather, he did the accent. Imagine it without the the accent. Now that would look real stupid .
The level of troll you possess, geez! The Godfather is set in the US, you know what I’m talking about…

ReplyJanuary 31, 2023 at 4:31 am #1205275681Who does Shakespeare in an French accent? When every role is written there is speaking precisely in English accent. If Thats all u can come up for a serious reply,i wonder how bad ur invalid reply would be.
Oh, come on! You’re asking an English accent from a woman whose mother tongue is French, so the fair thing to ask would be for her to do a French dialect, which she has done in some of her films. Plus, she speaks English in many of her roles and it’s not like she’s doing something stupid like Winslet speaking in a German accent while The Reader is set in Germany, or the countless US/UK/Australian actors doing the same cringey thing. Ugh, on top of racism, xenophobia, imperialism, Eurocentrism and countless other forms of oppresion, white people never seem to get enough and now we’re adding the entitlement of asking for foreign actors to speak perfect English (while most white people from the US only speak one language). Exhausting!
IF for some reason Blanchett is stopped by Yeoh at the BAFTAs or if they don’t feeling like giving her a third Oscar, I can see Riseborough winning this. I mean, the amount of gymnastics the industry has to pull off in order to deny a woman of color the Best Actress statue is insane. Double exhausting!

ReplyJanuary 19, 2023 at 11:31 am #1205253933The denial in Bassett is something
Forgive me for being skeptical of having nice things coming from the Oscars when a good 80% of it it’s pure frustration. It seems too good to be true to have queen Bassett as an Oscar winner.
January 19, 2023 at 11:01 am #1205253823For some reason, I feel Curtis will not make it at the Oscars but Hsu will. She did not make the longlist at BAFTA but her SAG nom feels too strong to ignore. And I hope I’m wrong but right now I don’t feel Bassett winning. I find it hard to believe they’ll give two awards to sci-fi performances in the same year (and Ke Huy Quan is beyond locked). Plus, Academy likes to make history with noms more than with wins (like this might be the first time that four people of color get nominated in the same acting category but that’s it).
January 16, 2023 at 5:32 am #1205247588We rarely see a movie with that many wins. If you think it’s just a coincidence and voters don’t think about it at all then it’s your opinion. I won’t predict EEAAO to win that many, sorry. Not even Parasite did it and it had so much passion. It’s not that simple and we’ve seen many times in those anonymous ballots that they do take many things into consideration when voting.
It’s kind of funny how we think the same scenario will happen (EEAAO not winning many statues, I even think it’ll only get one, for Ke Huy Quan) but for different reasons. I find it hard to believe the voters going: “Oh, I just voted XYZ film for Best Sound Mixing so I’ll go for a different thing in Best Actor)”. Plus, there’s been some articles of “Brutally Honest Oscars Ballots” where some of the voters have said they didn’t even watch the films and were just checking boxes, LOL.
January 16, 2023 at 5:17 am #1205247560We’re not really contradicting each other. They like other movies too and they will reward them and thus share the wealth.
That’s the thing: I don’t think really think the Academy believes in “sharing the wealth.” They just vote for categories individually without taking some others into consideration. If then the results look like it, it’s just a coincidence because we’ve gotten every scenario this past decade of amount of wins possible. That’s how I firmly believe Olivia Colman won because they prefered her performance over Glenn Close (she already had more critics’ wins + Volpi Cup) than just being a case of trying to give The Favourite a win. So, indifferently of EEAAO‘s final amount of statues, Yeoh is not winning.
January 16, 2023 at 4:26 am #1205247515I’ve said it before and I’ve been called a hater but the Academy has been sharing the wealth a lot for the past decade and two acting Oscars has always been a tall order with this movie potentially winning in many other categories as well. I do think it’s gonna win BP and Director. I just can’t imagine the Academy giving EEAAO these many Oscars while other movies go home with nothing.
I never understood why people believe in this logic. This past decade we got a situation where two acting winners came from the same film. I feel every category is a world of its own and voters don’t take this into consideration. The results vary so much: that’s how we got The Power of the Dog getting tons of nominations and yet CODA winning much more with less noms, Bohemian Rhapsody getting four Oscar but no Best Picture, Phantom Thread and The Irishman going empty-handed while The Eyes of Tammy Faye winning two awards…
With that said, it’s not that I think Yeoh will win (she has a lot going against her and Blanchett too much in her favor, it’s been quite clear to many of us since day one) but to remember that the Academy simply go for what they prefer.
January 15, 2023 at 9:31 pm #1205247102I guess we just have to leave GoldDerby, people.
Things won’t change in decades and even with that amount of time I have my doubts. We can have some nice chats at Indiewire.
January 15, 2023 at 8:19 pm #1205246930ig if their main alternative is voting for an asian role played by an asian, as opposed to yellowface like luise rainer, they feel like they gotta stop that at any costs.
Oh, don’t forget when they rewarded Patricia Neal for Hud, a character that was based on a black character from the original novel.
January 15, 2023 at 7:47 pm #1205246859I have her being nominated as well but what exactly as are you referring to as confirmation, Cate Blanchett winning tonight?
About her losing to a white woman getting her third statue, LOL.
Just a stupid stat.
January 15, 2023 at 7:38 pm #1205246814This race’s been over since that Volpi win. I mean, of all the places Yeoh could’ve gotten a precursor over Blanchett was here and yet…
Also, this just confirms Viola will be nominated, LOL.
January 15, 2023 at 7:01 pm #1205246608Cate is not winning SAG over Michelle.
Sadly, she will. And people then will stop denying the reality that another white actress is getting Best Actress. Guys, we go through this every year…
January 15, 2023 at 6:57 pm #1205246549CCs missed the opportunity for a beautiful tie between Blanchett and Yeoh. Nonetheless, I’m glad Blanchett gets a televised win!
Because it’s quite clear from the beggining that Blanchett is winning this. I think only in the GoldDerby Best Actress thread people are believing they’ll go for an Asian actress. Also, many here believe Angela is sealed, but I find it hard to believe Oscar will give two acting statues to performers in sci-fi films, let alone three.
